A very chaotic game today between Brentford and Arsenal, but despite a bad start, the Gunners are going home with 3 points and they jumped back up to the 2nd place overtaking Nottm Forest.
Arsenal might have to play better than they did today to win their next game against Brighton (away). Brighton have only lost 4 league games this season and they would be ranked higher if not for a large number of draws being 9, which is the highest in Premier League. I think a split of points is quite likely. Betting on a draw you can get x3.80, betting on Arsenal to win x1.80.

Yes, Arsenal's game was not good enough in today's match, they were so overwhelmed at the beginning because the hosts were able to play a good game, but since the score became 1-1 Arsenal was able to control the style of play and was able to dominate the course of the match in this match. The upcoming matches will certainly be a tough test for Arsenal because there are many strong teams that are their opponents. If they are unable to maintain their best form, Arsenal will find it difficult to maintain their 2nd position.

Nottingham Forest is certainly a surprise team this season, they performed well with consecutive wins. Even so, the 2nd to 5th positions have close points so if one team loses points, The other team will quickly overtake their ranking. Chelsea also had bad luck, they could not perform well to maintain their ranking.

I was so impressed to see Arsenal's performance in this match. Seriously, they did very well. Brentford was playing at home, but still Arsenal won 3-1. However, as you said, as a fan, I’m also expecting Arsenal to put in more pressure to get to the top of the table ahead of Liverpool, but Liverpool is far behind Arsenal up till now. Jokes aside, I'm happy to see Arsenal at the top of the league. Let's see what is going to happen, because there is still a lot to do. The season is just getting tough; we need to wait to see more of what they will do.

Arsenal are comfortably at the second position. Arsenal played well against brentford today, I never expected such a good performance from Arsenal, but they were able to get three points in today’s match. Arsenal played against Brentford today, and we all know that Brentford is a team which no one is suppose to underestimate, I expected them to give Arsenal a difficult moment in the match, but the match was not so difficult for Arsenal to win.

No matter the pressure that Arsenal put, it’s going to be difficult for them to take over the first position from Liverpool, because the more Arsenal keeps on putting pressure, then Liverpool will also be putting pressure in their matches, so taking over the first position is just what I think that Arsenal won’t be able to achieve.

Manchester United's last win was against Manchester City after which they have lost four games in a row. Manchester United's performance at the start of the change of manager made every United supporter see a renewed interest in their team, but now the team is back to its former form. 

Everybody Manchester United supporters was very happy when they see that their performance has improved after sacked their former manager, and a moment they bring new manager their performance definitely changes into the better. Because even their last match against Manchester City was very surprised game for everyone when they see that Man City lose to Man united.

But is now I realized that’s is not the only the bad manager that is Manchester United problem, there also have their own side effects, if not there performances not supposed get back to the former form, after all their fans much interest for them; but the only thing that i observe with them is that: there lack of inconsistency that’s what is preventing them from moving forward.

Arsenal has been providing a different pleasure in the league for three years, they show great matches, great games. They can't continue but even if they have continued this beauty for a long time, they have always failed before, Liverpool is in a very good place this season. Arsenal managed to win three points away from Brentford in a great way.

Brentford took the lead with the goal scored by Mbeumo in the early minutes of the match. Arsenal would continue the match away and one goal behind. It didn't matter, they took the game from Brentford in the later minutes and Arsenal never let go. Gabriel Jesus did a lot in this match, he played a very good match.

Nice win for Arsenal and congrats to the gunners for getting their first win in the New Year against Brentford coming back from a goal down was not easy as they forth back from behind to win today's match arsenal indeed has great potential and can become even league champions but to me arsenal is actually the sleeping lion of the premier League as every season they fall below expectation of their fans and even follower's

This season, Arsenal played so tiring as if they were able to win the EPL two consecutive times. I had to remind them that they need to continue fighting because they have not won. Fighting very well for it doesn't mean you have won it. When Arteta understood that no matter how well you play as a team, there must be an evidence of your good football which is titles and trophies won. So, if a team has not won these titles yet, they should not feel relaxed for any reason.

Are people seriously getting excited about Liverpool Vs Man United this Sunday?
United is still a big brand with a rich history, but you're only as good as your recent performance and, currently, Man United are below-average.

The team's stats under Amorim's lead are far from satisfying. 8 Premier League games total: 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. That's an average of 0.9 points per game. They've lost 3 games in a row.

It's going to be a walk in the park for Liverpool and the bookies know it. The odds for Liverpool winning are x1.24, while for United it's x9.50.

Yes, Arsenal's game was not good enough in today's match, they were so overwhelmed at the beginning because the hosts were able to play a good game,

Arsenal also looked shaky because they knew they were starting such an important game without an important player like Saka. Their confidence improved and became better immediately they were about to score a goal. Against Brighton, It will be another tough games against a Brighton team that are not so easy to beat. I think maybe Nwaneri will not start as he did today even though he played well today. Arteta may maybe be interested in having some more experience from the start and may choose Trossard to start at the left and free up the opportunity for Martinelli to play from the right.

There will definitely be a lot of people who are excited about this match because after all this is a derby where rivalry and prestige are at stake even though currently the condition of Manchester United is contrary to Liverpool but in the end in a big match like this, of course we know that there is indeed a sense where no one will want to give up just like that especially since this is not a match that is only limited to collecting points but also great prestige.

So in the end there is hope that this match will be more interesting to wait for. But it cannot be denied that for now Liverpool's probability is still far greater than Manchester United, because apart from those who have better consistency in this match will also be at Anfield where they will be at home with the majority of great support from fans so surely Liverpool will be more trying to get glory because apart from the prestige they get these points will also be able to make them comfortable at the top of the standings.

Now, they are struggling to far away from the degradation zone, many people expect that Amorim can bring the squad could be better than Ten Hag, but in reality Amorim instead making MU even worse than before. I admit it takes a long time to fix the team who have problem with squad on the past, but time is running out, Amorim must make quite a breakthrough to make MU better than today.

Amorim still stands on his principles, he keeps doing the game scheme that he built. I think he should change that as soon as possible if still want continue to train MU on future.

The happy feeling began after the board of directors successfully fired Ten Hag because they considered ETH to be a coach who was unable to get Manchester United out of its slump. Van Nistelrooy had given new hope in several matches, but the management did not see him as a good prospect for the club's future.

Amorim arrival was greeted with great enthusiasm because of his success in improving Sporting CP's performance, but it is increasingly clear that he has not yet found the best formula to save Man United from its slump. The January transfer market is a hope for them, management must also support Amorim to bring in several new players. If there is additional ammunition in several different positions, perhaps United performance will improve slightly.

I can't wait for the Liverpool - Manchester United game this Sunday.    Amorim is going to have another challenging test. It must be really tiresome for him to try to handle a team in crisis. I don't believe they can steal any point against such an in-form Liverpool.

If i think about this too much, trying to guess how Manchester United can even Liverpool who are in top form at the moment, it makes me even more dizzy, i'm not surprised if Manchester United will lose again in this match, but if Manchester United can win the match, this is going to be the main topic.

[SatoPrincess]

Arsenal are closing the gap between them and a Liverpool. Do you think Arsenal are contenders for the title this season?

For the last four or five seasons, Arsenal always play and win games like they are contending for the Premier League title but when they have successfully given their fans hope that they are going to win, they end up bottling the league and finishing second place. It’s a shame that with the brilliance of Mikel Arteta, Arsenal has not won a single trophy since he became manager of the club.

It looks too much caused by we can guess the winner easily without even need to see the statistics. Liverpool is way better than Manchester United in everything. Almost no chance for United to win the game. The odds even fully favoring Liverpool to win the game without having fierce battle.

Arsenal has been brilliant recently, winning their matches and getting maximum points but I'll not be in a hurry to consider them as title contender based on their past history. Amongst the big teams they're the only team close to Liverpool but they used to screw up when they're in crucial position, so it's not going to be any different this time around. They are going to give Liverpool a hot chase and at the time when you begin to think they might actually have a shot, they'll start slipping and dash their fans hope.

Arsenal verses Brighton game is one I personally think will be hard to predict correctly, and this is particularly due to the under-performance of Arsenal in most of their recent games, they have become unpredictable in most of their games.

Betting on that game to end in a draw is very tempting to honest, not due to the odds and potential profit, but looking at the performance of both team.
But personally, if I am going to bet on that game, I will likely go for Arsenal winning, I am not very sure of this, but i will risk a small amount of money on that.

Manchester United are losing to even weaker teams, so against Liverpool they have almost no chance of winning. In fact, Amorim probably doesn't even know what to do to somehow change this situation, their results are even worse than under ten Hag. Manchester United are in 14th place and they continue to fall towards the relegation zone, Amorim was clearly expected to have a different result, and I am starting to doubt that a few transfers in the winter can help them change something.

[SatoPrincess]

Manchester United have lost again, meaning they have failed to win another match. This team's poor performance continues, they are trying to improve themselves a lot but are not able to do so. In fact, many football fans thought that their team's new coach might be able to turn the team around. But I don't see much change in the situation of this group, it remains the same as before. Manchester United didn't play well against Newcastle, I agree they have the best players in their team but why do they perform so poorly?

Newcastle scored two goals in the first 20 minutes of today's match, after which Manchester United's players were unable to attack any more and they were unable to score any goals.

Nobody should blame the coach for the bad result that Manchester United keeps getting. It's obvious that the players are the cause of their poor performance this season and unless Amorim replace this players, Manchester United can never moved forward. Manchester United players are so lazy and have all lost the morale and team spirit to be able to achieve success. Players from the Erik ten Hag era should be sold to other clubs for whatever money they can get.

Brentford are a quite interesting team honestly. Currently we see them at the 12th position however they are one of the teams with the most points collected in home games.    7W, 1D, 1L... If they weren't one of the worst away teams at the same time, they were probably going to be fighting for top 5 or so now. But here they are playing another home game which is against Arsenal. I find Arsenal's odds @1.43 quite low considering these statistics. I wouldn't take that big meaningless risk.

Instead I would prefer over 2.5 goals & BTTS @2.04.    I believe we are going to watch a really competitive game and not a boring one. Brentford score a lot in home games and Arsenal are also really good at it in away ones.

It feels really great to turn out to be right about this game.    Because the odds of my pick was a really satisfying one and it won too easily. But I must admit that I wasn't accurate about Arsenal to have difficulties after conceding first.

That was a really solid comeback by Arteta's students.    But they are still having a season with ups and downs which keeps them away from the title. You know how strong Liverpool are going on this season.

Lastly I don't like what I see at Chelsea these days. A home loss against Fulham first and after an away one against Ipswich. There is a really big downfall by them recently. They shouldn't struggle in easy fixtures. Especially the Ipswich one was more unexpected.
